Bottle from Small pour into the per-installed sake cup.
Not quite clear. Somewhat gelatinous.
Creamy fresh banana nose, doesn't smell fake.
Yeasty, banana candy, potato, plastic, herbal, lingering leafy greens. Mellow flavor, hard alcohol.
A little hot.
Meh. Just lacked flavor.

Cheap little $3 bottle grab to up the style tick. This is kinda stuff gives sake a bad name. Clear pour. Nose is anise, melon, cheap perfume. Tastes of sake plus rubbing alcohol. Palate is hoochy warmness. Not very good but super happy to find.

210ml ECO cup from Japan Centre online. Clear with no head and aroma of rice, melon, citric. Taste is rice, melon, with mellow earthy & grassy alcohol. Medium bodied, low carbonation, dry papery finish. Quite OK.

Bottle.
A- Green apples, sweet, alcohol.
A- Clear color, clear liquid, no head.
T- Alcohol, white wine.
P- Light body, average texture, low carbonation, strong finish.
O- The alcohol is very present. Tastes like a white wine and not much else. Not a very good sake in my opinion.

Grainy rice and soy sauce aroma. Yellow water appearance. Sweet rice flavor with light fruitiness and an alcohol burn finish. So-so

Paid $3.99 for this 180ml little bottle with saki cup (World Market, Charlottesville). Serving myself at room temperature. Clear as water (or vadka)... how do you rate an appearance of filtered saki? Smells of soy sauce, rice, and uncooked oatmeal flakes. Flavor is pretty much the same, actually. A decent amount of rice, soy sauce, and oatmeal flakes are present, with the rice and soy standing out. Not a strong flavor at all. Not overly enjoyable, but it’s drinkable.

Bottle, warmed in pan of hot water. Dang! A stab at a second sake, and it's the same style as my first. Will this amusement never end?
Okay. This one is somewhat banana-ey on first sniff. Tasting leaves some harsh alcohol in the sides of my mouth. Doesn't leave as much play as the Hakusan I had earlier. However, I do get an interesting peppermint impression on the tip of my tongue. But that's about it.
